This is definitely going to be an interesting watch. Hopefully we will find out the true effect of the warm waters of the Gulf on Alex. Thanks for keeping us posted, Eric. And I look forward to your analysis as Alex continues on to Mexico.

Ken- Baffin Bay is between Brownsville & Corpus, I had to look it up on Mapquest.

Eric- just checked the 2PM update, it doesn’t look like the NHC track has shifted at all (still just south of the Mex/TX border), but most of the models are north of the border, why hasn’t the forecast track moved and do you think it will change with the 5PM update if the models stay the same?

Ken…it’s a really neat place to go. There’s a lot of great places to go down there that most people never hear about. Laguna Madre, etc. great fishing…clear green waters, white sand. Also, Padre island south of Corpus is the longest natural barrier island in the world.
